my company does some business with south korea, so i have some email contacts with a few folks over there. these people have no special "insider" information and are just finance plugs like myself. their take on this whole situation over the past few weeks has been very calm tho. they seem to feel this is just part of normal life next door to the hermit kingdom and that china can resolve this behind the scenes by just upping some food shipments. there is no panic in seoul what so ever.

Today (it's currently April 15 in Korea) will likely be the day that something happens, if anything does occur. Celebration of Kim Il Sung's 101st birthday, always accompanied by a lot of military shows and such.
